The God Box by Mary Lou Quinlan
What interested me and was more prominent in the second half of the book, was the psychological benefit of the God Box. I'm sure I've read somewhere that if you write your worries down and put them away, like in a box, it relieves the stress on your mind. As a worrier, this is appealing to me. There are a lot of recommendations for a "Worry Box" if you search it on the internet.
The story was sweet and brought tears to my eyes throughout. A good quick read to re-instill faith in humanity without being overly religious, even with God in the title.
What a great way to write your prayer requests.
I received this book at my daughter's graduation from college this year (2013). The author was there to give a speech and she gave a book to each graduate either for them to keep or to give to their mother's.
It was a very sweet book on remembering Mary Lou's mother. Mary Lou's mother used to writer her prayers and hopes on pieces of paper for God to help her friends, family and people she would meet while out eating or in a store. It was sweet to see how much Mary Finlayson cared for people and put everything in God's hands.
Mary Lou Quinlan does suggest that if you feel the need to do a God Box to find what works for you. It is a nice concept and something I would consider.
I have always felt that things happen for a reason and sometimes we have no control over it.… (more)
